Okay, the June Week celebrations haven’t really taken place in the month of June since the ’80s, so we’ll just refer to this coming week in Annapolis as the traditional Commissioning Week.
Happy Commissioning Week, and congratulations to all soon-to-be Naval Academy graduates who will take the stage of the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Friday, May 25. Until then, an entire week of ceremonies and celebration is underway in Annapolis, and some of the week’s big events are open to the public. These include…
Flight demonstrations by the Blue Angels
